Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will sit out for his team’s Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium, per head coach Chuck Pagano.

#Colts coach Chuck Pagano has ruled QB Andrew Luck out for Sunday’s game vs. the #AZCardinals. Will be a few more weeks.

Luck, who had shoulder surgery in the offseason, isn’t likely to return soon.

The Colts (0-1) are fresh off a season-opening loss in which backup QB Scott Tolzien went 9-for-18 with 0 TDs, two interceptions and a passer rating of 33.8. Jacoby Brissett eventually entered the game in relief and made three pass attempts.

Clearly, Indianapolis struggled in Week 1 to replace the production of Luck, who threw for 4,240 yards last year with a 96.4 passer rating and 63.5 completion percentage en route to 31 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

The Cardinals (0-1) will look to rebound from a 35-23 loss at the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
